In reply to Barbara Schieving. I don't understand clearly when you talk about the folds. Could you explain it a bit more?

In reply to Anu.

Hi Anu – sorry you’re having troubles, if the butter is melting that quickly, you’re going to have to refrigerate it as soon as the butter starts getting soft. The measurements are in inches.

Hey Barbara,

I’m I’m the middle of making this croissant, but I think I’ve made some mistake inthe size of the butter slab. The recipe says 10×8, is it in inches or centimetres. Because the length of the dough rectangle is 15 inches, the 10 10 inch butter package is too long to fold the ends of the dough without breaking the butter slab. Can you correct me??

Also, India is incredibly hot at this time of the year, so my butter is melting within 2-3 mins… Very difficult to work with.
